I first reported this May 20, 2019. I received notice July 15th that it had been taken care of. I took this photo today. There is still a large pile of trash along the trail at Griffy that runs from Lanam Road to Griffy Creek. It includes 2 tires, LOTS of broken glass, and lots of sharp rusted pieces of metal. It is about 1/3 or 1/2 of a mile down the trail from Lanam Road. There is a downed tree and log between the road and trash pile that might need to be cut if a wheeled device is used to remove the trash. My original ticket in May was 168600. Other trees blocking the trail which I reported earlier (ticket 168601) have been removed and I thank you!

This was reported to me by a citizen: The little steps on the B-line near 1st & Morton. The tops of some of the steps are loose and wobbly.

I have a couple of concerns. One is when they have treated for invasive species on the portion of the trail I walk between Country Club and Gordon, there is nothing other than a sign. There is no indications of what areas have been treated, nothing is blocked off. I'm also concerned about the fact that there isn't a spot to throw away animal poo bags on the trail between Country Club and Gordon. I have seen several abandoned along the trail or the waste not being picked up at all.

I run the Trail starting at Tapp Rd frequently. I have noticed a proliferation of plants along the Trail so that the Trail is narrowed considerably. Especially there is a plant with a pink blossom. It appears very invasive. I don't know if you want these plants or not. I would think not.

Paula, I wrote earlier today about an issue on the Trail, and I didn't clearly state which Trail. I am talking about the Rail Trail off of Country Club Rd. There is a proliferation of seemingly invasive plants on the first mile or so of the Trail. I thought you would like to know.

This plot just had a tree removed form it. CFC folks are concerned that it is dangerous and that somebody could wipe out in it fairly easy. Suggest putting cones on it until it fixed. It's just south of the southeast corner on the intersection of Kirkwood and College Avenues.

The detour for the B-Line Trail around Switchyard Park right now (10/22/2019) is a product of shortsighted planning, a lack of anticipation of user experiences, and just illogical. When coming from the north, the detour turns you to the west on a small gravel path and leads to a street - W. Hillside Drive. There are no signs after leaving the B-Line that indicate there is a planned detour route. My assumption is to go on the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers. Good luck getting over there in rush hour traffic on a bicycle. No one on Rogers stops for bicycle or pedestrian traffic trying to cross the street. Why would the detour not go on the multi-use path on the north side of Grimes to Rogers? A sidewalk is in place to get from the B-Line (just north of the bridge) to the Grimes path and then use the light to cross Grimes and Rogers to get on the Rogers path. That is what I will do from now on with my logical thinking that the City did not use in setting up the detour. Also, the accessibility issues with the detour as it is now seem questionable at best, and unsafe otherwise. After you cross Rogers and get on the multi-use path to head south, the journey is far from smooth sailing. That path is woefully maintained and clearly not prepared to be the detour of the B-Line Trail. The trail bed has gravel, sand, and glass on it, among other debris. Multiple points along the path have overgrown bushes and tree limbs that present a hazard. The City's detour signs should read: Good Luck to All Who Pass. Thanks for creating a fun adventure on the commute home today. Nothing like leaving the safety of the B-Line to enter a world of traffic, debris, and obstructions. Well thought out. But, what else do we expect in a city that notoriously fails at detours and construction projects? Not on time and clearly out of the way. I'll drive tomorrow for my own safety.

Just south of the intersection of Rogers and Coolidge the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is heavily impeded by overgrowth of a tree. This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this needs to be trimmed back.
